Che è il caso che intervenga con urgenza il Garante.Sono sicuro che capiranno rapidamente che cosa sono i dati personali.Credo che il Garante dovrebbe essere informato Inviato dal mio dispositivo Samsung -------- Messaggio originale -------- Da: Alberto Cammozzo <ac+nexa(a)zeromx.net> Data: 31/10/2015 23:06 (GMT+01:00) A: nexa(a)server-nexa.polito.it Oggetto: Re: [nexa] Taggalo retail analytics Video+Wifi+Beacon in negozi italiani? Pare confermata la notizia su Altrmercato, con alcuni dettagli. <https://www.mobilestrategies360.com/2015/10/29/beacon-has-eyes> Altromercato deploys new beacon sensors that take photos Italian retailer Altromercato outfits its stores with sensors that are a beacon, camera and Wi-Fi hub to learn who shops for what. Although there are 300 Altromercato retail stores, each of the Italian retailer’s locations varies in terms of what products it carries, the store layout and even the size of the shop. Between the 300 locations there are 100 owners, and the stores range in size from 50 to 300 square meters, says Andrea Monti, general manager at Altromercato. [] Altromercato, which specializes in so-called “fair trade” products from artisans and farmers in less-developed economies, recently put the devices in two stores, one in Milan and one in Genoa. The organization, a consortium of cooperatives and nonprofit organizations, plans on deploying the sensors to a total of 10 of its stores for a six-month pilot. Altromercato plans to have between five and 10 sensors in each store. The devices will go in the store’s front window or windows, at the front entrance and in a few aisles with different types of products. The camera on the device has facial recognition software that can identify the age and gender of the person who has walked by it, and it can record 18 faces at a time, says Paolo Guida, co-founder and investor at Taggalo. The camera is about 90% accurate with its determination, Guida adds. The camera does not store any of the photos it takes. As soon as it analyzes the face, it only stores the data, such as “22-year-old female.” “We wanted to have something that would work in any country or any geographic location regardless of privacy law,” Guida says. Altromercato has a sign up in its stores alerting customers that it is recording them, Monti says. Because it just set up the sensors, Altromercato does not have any results to share. Since the device can track how many consumers are walking by the store, via a camera in the front window, and how many consumers enter the store, via a camera at the front, Altromercato can gauge the effectiveness of the front displays and how many consumers that could have entered the store actually did. If consumers connect to the Wi-Fi with their smartphone, Altromercato will know how long that consumer is in the store and if that shopper has been to the store before. These types of analytics will give Altromercato a better sense of who their customer is at each location, such as a majority of Altromercato shoppers visit the store four times a month and stay in the store longer than first-time shoppers. Altromercato does not yet have a plan to use the beacon technology in the sensors. [] Sembrerebbe dunque che il dato memorizzato che consente di rilevare se il cliente è già entrato nel negozio sia l'imponta biometrica del volto non più associata all'immagine dalla quale è stata estratta. Inoltre risulterebbe che l'impronta biometrica sia presa anche di passanti attraverso le vetrine, dunque sulla pubblica via. Per Taggalo e Altromercato l'impronta biometrica del volto non sarebbe dato personale. Che ne dite?

Taggalo retail analytics Video+Wifi+Beacon in negozi italiani?

Milan-Based Company Launches Multi-Tech Device For Tracking Real-World Customers <http://marketingland.com/milan-based-company-launches-multi-tech-device-for…> [] Taggalo provides what it says is the only all-in-one device that combines video analytics, WiFi tracking and beacon technology, with the data presented via a web dashboard. It also offers a white-label mobile app for stores to use with the beacon functionality. [] The stats can include the number of people who walk by the store, the number of customers who pause to look at a product and the time spent, which smartphones are making a repeat visit (as determined by their anonymous device IDs) and the demographics of store customers. This latter category includes not just gender and age approximation, but also “ethnic group.” The company said this includes race, such as Caucasian or African-American. When I asked if this kind of racial tracking could be a problem, CEO Luca Nestola told me that Taggalo just provided the data, and it was up to the store to use it responsibly. It’s not clear yet what legitimate value racial identification offers to stores. About a dozen retailers have been using the devices in Europe and the US, the company said, including Altromercato, a consortium of shops in Italy. Taggalo said that there have been reports of sales lifts of two to three percent by some stores because of better customer info.

Biometric banking

by Alberto Cammozzo

Dopo i passaporti, anche le banche presto potrebbero richiedere biometrics con standard interoperabili. Aspettiamoci una proliferazione di autenticazioni biometriche basate su fingerprint e riconoscimento facciale. <http://www.winknews.com/2015/10/29/biometric-banking-is-booming/> Between voice activation, facial recognition and fingerprint verification experts say biometric banking is booming. “I think they are the big thing that’s going on right now and the future,” said Mozer. It is not only mobile banking that’s using biometrics. At least one U.S. bank is now using voice verification when you call customer service. Experts predict biometrics will also be used one day in ATM’s, online banking and other smart devices. [] I dettagli della piattaforma: <https://fidoalliance.org/specifications/overview/> Impronte digitali e riconoscimento facciale sono notoriamente insicure: basta una foto del polpastrello presa in ambienti pubblici:<https://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2014/ursel> e perfino il riconoscimento facciale 3D è attaccabile: <http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?reload=true&arnumber=6810…> E una volta che mi viene rubato il token di autenticazione biometrica, come faccio a "cambiare password"? con la chirurgia plastica?
